Question

4. While loops in MATLAB

Get a binary from the user by input. And turn it into the decimal using while loop. (Hint: store the input binary as a character array and perform operation on each element). Finally, check the answer of your script with bin2dec.

Answer 1

bin = input("Enter the binary number: ","s");
dec = 0;
temp = 1;
i=length(bin);
while i>=1
    if(bin(i) == '1')
        dec = dec + temp;
    elseif(bin(i) == '0')
        dec = dec + 0;
    else
        fprintf("Invalid input\n");
        return;
    end
    temp = temp * 2;
    i = i - 1;
end
fprintf("The number in decimal is %d\n",dec);
